The socks were purchased of our trip to Iguaza Falls and they were great. I heal part of the sock is high enough so I did no get any blisters . A bonus is I could wear them another day so we saved in luggage fees
Sock is exactly what I wanted in bottom heal padding without worry of sliding riding off the heal into shoe… Higher on the ankle than what I’m accustomed too so if you’re looking for something more underneath the ankle then this isn’t the best solution.
So comfortable! I recognize that they are called hike but I wear them inside my “On” brand walking shoes for all day activities, errands, whatever the day brings, and my feet are very happy. I love the moisture wicking properties in warm/hot weather.
I absolutely love these socks. All my crew socks are Smartwool and I finally decided to try some Smartwool ankle socks and I’m so glad I did. All my other ankle socks have now been donated. I won’t wear anything else besides Smartwool from now
I know that these are ‘hiking’ socks, but I like the thicker cushioning when using them in my everyday shoes. Also, my shoe size is a 9, which is a size L sock. There’s too much extra material so I size down a buy a size M.
Very comfortable even just walking around the house due to the padding. The elastic band never seems to wear down and the fabric lasts years (it will get stiffer but is still comfortable).
Now these socks are well made, the perfect thickness and fit. Exactly what I expect from Smartwool.
These socks are great at keeping your feet dry and comfortable on those all day hikes !
Very comfortable. I have several and they are my favorites.
